to design and develop new product features. All work is done in our XP
lab which is a developer-centric, productive but relaxed atmosphere.
Examples of recent work include an implementation of KML as an input
format (the XML format used by Google Earth), a disk-based R-Tree (a
spatial index) for rapid retrieval of geospatial data and an
implementation of a new 3D geometry package.

If this sounds interesting exciting we'd love to hear from you. This
is a full time permanent position centrally located on the north part
